Artist Statement:
My work responds intuitively
to personal experiences,
records points of interest
that concern me at a
particular time. Social,
cultural and identity issues
have always been at the core
of my visual exploration. I
draw inspiration from daily
life, nature, science, food,
childhood memories, Chinese
culture and Buddhist art.
Organic shapes, symbols and
motifs form a web of free
association and conceptual
connection, serving as means
of convenience in the vain
pursuit of self-identity.
Painting is an instance of
pure activity and experience
prior to recognition. The
creative process allows
momentary detachment from my
ego, and reveals how abstract
patterns interpret thought
processes at the subliminal
level. Between the image
envisioned and the image
realized, I have found neither
absolute identity, nor a
permanent and independent
sense of existence.
At the conclusion of this
senseless act of mark making,
my work is only a reflection
of the many diverse,
fragmentary and transitory
aspects of my experience. The
painting process interweaves
order and chaos into a web of
free association and open
interpretation, reveals how
abstract patterns interpret
thought processes at the
subliminal level. Between the
image envisioned and the image
realized, I explore the
boundary between the material
and ...
